62 mpg in US gallons is still good. ---

Imperial gallon is 154 ounces vs 128 ounces for US gallon. That’s a full 20% difference. That’s a lot more than a slight difference. ---

Jag and Vw made it In time, james was 40min late in the Subaru going the long way. Us version only had one car make it to the finish. > > “James”? To whom do you refer? Since he mentioned Richard Hammond, I am guessing he was referring to James May, both host of Top Gear (UK) with Jeremy Clarkson. ---

Keep in mind that Top Gear was entertainment, not educational. And darn funny entertainment. Top Gear runs 24/7 on Pluto, the free streaming channel. The boy’s next series, the Grand Tour is available streaming on Amazon Prime. ---

I don’t pretend to understand it but we hooked up our new Samsung that had been sitting in the closet for a few years and it has all kinds of channels available. It is just hooked up to my antenna, not our cable system. Maybe it’s pulling off Wi-Fi, I don’t know or care to know but I can get multiple news and weather plus the wife likes the dance channel. ---

That sounds like you are receiving the normal over-the-air digital transmissions for your area. That’s what I have, about 60 channels of programming. Car-related programming, mostly just “Counting Cars” , old car restoration. And a small truck competition program, “Truck Night in America”. I think there’s another program called “Motor Week” too, but that’s about new cars so not much interest here … lol … ---

Maybe but I’ve got three other tvs on the antenna that only bring in about ten channels. But then how many do you need in the bath room? So I’m to the point that I don’t care anymore. My office tv is on cable if I want to watch something. ---
